FOR THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS Is tlic |.uiv^t ami mest genuine 'I onic in tho world. Try it and you will feel its salutary effects immediately. ASK YOUR CHEMIST FOR XT. manu FEW diseases present less charms of novelty, and still fewer are more practical, or require a greater amount of intelligent skill for their successful treatment, than those now under discussion. In consequence of the inactivity of the .Liver and Kid neys, through neglect or disease, innumerable complaints ensue, the most common of which is Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia is imperfect digestion, and from this we have feeble and imperfect nutrition and the results that follow from it-derangement to a greater or lesser extent of all the functions of the body, and loss of flesh and strength. The symptoms of this functional derangement of the stomach, which is commonly known as indigestion, vary very much in nature and severity, one individual suffering severely when his or her dinner disagrees, while another has merely slight depr...

A GOOD set of artificial teeth is preferable to a bad set of natural. This statement will be aecepted not as set ting Art in rivalry with Nature, but as in praise of Art where the decadence of Nature will allow Art to step in to compensate, as far as may be, for her decay. But when the natural teeth are lost, in whole or part, then artificial substitutes are not only desirable but absolutely and indispensably necessary for voice, appearance, com fort, and-far above all other considérations-health. The above advantages are guaranteed to all who are sup plied with artificial teeth by J. I. MARSHALL, of the Sydney Arcade (George and King sts.) Full sets of gold medal teeth for ¿£5. MRS. M.

(Temperance |1age. How One Drunkard was Cured. A young wife in Michigan bad just settled in her new home. All seemed fair and promising for she did not know that her husband was a drunkard. But one night he came home very late and much the worse for liquor. When he staggered into the house she was very much shock ed. She told him that he was very sick and must lie down at once ; and in a few minutes he was fast asleep. His face was flushed purple, and al together he was a most pitiable object. The doc ter was sent for in haste and mustard applied to hands and feet. The doctor felt the patient's pulse and said ; "He is drunk ; he'll be all right in the morning," But the wife insisted that her husband was very sick and demanded the use of severe remedies. Said she : "You must shave hi« head and apply blisters or I will send for another doctor." The husband's head was ac cordingly shaved and blisters applied. The pat ient lay all night in a drunken sleep, and not withstanding the blist...

The Landlord's Decisicn. them. Sell it to me and let me die, and let the world be rid of me ; but for heaven's sake sell no more to them." The landlord listened, pale and trembling. Setting down the decanter, he ex claimed : ''God helping me, this is the last drop j will ever sell to anyone !" He kept his word. A young man entered the bar-room of a village tavern and called for a drink. "No." said the landlord, "you have had the delirium tremens once, and I cannot sell you any more." He stepped aside to make room for a couple of young men who had just entered, and the landlord waited upon them very politely. The other had stood by silent and sullen, and when they had finished, he walked up to the landlord and ad dressed him : "Six years ago, at their age, I stood where these young men now stand. I was a man with feir prospects. Now at the age of twenty-eight I am a wreck, body and mind. You let me drink. In this room I formed the habit that has been my ruin. Now sell me a few glasse...

ABOUT BATHING THE FEET. While a nightly bath is excellent, the feet should not be soaked oftener than once a week ?nless indeed, they are sore from walking or standing. In that case, dissolve a bit of washing soda the size of your thumb's end in a basin of water, as hot as can be borne. Soak the feet in this ten minutes, rinse in clear hot water, wipe dry and rub and knead with the bare hand for five minutes. For perspiration--especially offen sive perspiration-never let hot water touch your feet Bathe nightly in cold water, with a little chloride of lime in it. For tender or burning feet, nothing is better than a strong sea-salt bath either hot or cold.

How TO TREAT CORNS. Corns are somewhat a result of the constitu tion ; but there is no question that the rubbing and slipping of an ill-fitting shoe is a frequent occasion of them. No radical cure for them has yet been discovered. They may be greatly helped, though, by being soaked for twenty minutes in warm water, then pared or scraped with a very sharp knife, and painted with iodine. Lunar caustic is ex sellent also, but not exactly safe, as it sometimes burns so deep as to make a serious sore. A salve made of white or yellow wax, p e rmaceti, and almond, or castor-oil, in equal quantities, is excellent to rub upon corns and callouses. Apply just before going to bed, after bathing, but not soaking the foot, and rub in well.

ABOUT BRUSHING TUE TEETH. The question is often asked, " How often should the teeth be brushed '?'' After every meal, and just before retiring, should bethe rule with every body ; but as this may seem to be so much of a task to some as to discourage them altogether, a safe rule, which all can follow couveuiently, would be to brush them every night and mor ning ; this, if done thoroughly, would no doubt prevent decay from any deposits of food wQich would occur. Many people who brush their teeth regularly, and have finely preserved sets, use nothing but water.

BUTTERMILK AS A CO-SMGTIC. There is nothing that equals fresh buttermilk fir removing tan, freckles, sunburn or moth spots, Is has the grjatest advantage that it does not injure the skin, but renders it soft like a little child's. Take a soft cloth or sponge and bathe the face, neck and arms thoroughly with buttermilk before retiring for the night ; then wipe off the drops lightly. In the morning wash it thoroughly and wipe dry with a towel. Two or three SUCH baths will take off all the tan and freckles. It will keep the hands soft and smooth. The acid of the buttermilk answers a far better purpose than any powder or paste.
